Over the past year, I embarked on a venture that was both exhilarating and anxiety-inducing: designing a mental health journal.

This was a new territory for me, a follow-up to my initial product, ‘Coping Cards’. As I delved into this project, I often found myself ironically overwhelmed by the very anxiety the journal was meant to alleviate.

Let me share with you the story of how an anti-anxiety journal caused me so much anxiety.
